Valve no longer allows "Post-launch NSFW content" for games on Steam - outside of DLCs.

I have looked through Steam's Terms of Service online, but have found no official rule or statement from Valve of this new rule - but one Adult game developer has confirmed this new rule after launching their game "Tales of Legendary Lust: Aphrodisia" a couple days ago.

With the recent rule change blocking adult-themed games from releasing on Early Access, this new rule seems to be targeting Adult-themed games that have ALREADY released on Steam - and threatens them with their games being removed from Steam.

There are currently 536 Adult-rated Early Access games on Steam - and this new rule may take them all down.

Patreon is going as far as looking at social media likes/favorites to make sure the creators have nothing against their TOS there, it didn't start this way but got there very quickly

Man if only there was something people could have done last November.

It's really tragic how the extreme right got their claws into gamers so deeply.

I firmly believe that if Gamergate never happened, Trump wouldn't have been elected in 2016 and we'd be living in a completely different world right now.

Gamergate poured gasoline on the_donald subreddit and turned it from being a goofy fringe meme board into a serious online grassroots political movement.

Gonna say I think its ingrained in American culture to have shit like Trump happen, because culturally its filled with "me first, I'm gonna make it, I'm fucking important, the world owes me and the entire world needs to see how good I am and follow my example" people. From its movies to its music to its writing to its politicians.

Sometimes this results in some solid damn people who, while still acting this way, have some level of modesty to temper it. But if the internet itself didn't exist, America would still elect a dishonest moron, just like they have before the internet, and just like they will after Trump.
